SOUVENIRS THERE 10 BE PRESERVED Many of Them Will Form the National War Museum Behind the British Lines in France, Oct. 3.—(Correspondence.)—In quaint old place some miles behind the battleline are housed many in- teresting souvenirs of the Great War, curious relics from world famous battlefields and illustrations of phases of daily life in the trenches, German trophies for the most part. Many of these exhibits are destined in due course to form part of the Nationai War Museum. The old First Corps flag carried by the heroic and ill- fated Gough at Ypres is one of the notable relics. Here also one may see the carved a oak table from shelled Arras used by | Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig at his heaguarters throughout the battle of the Somme. There is the First Corps headquarters flag which he carried in the Mons retreat, his first flag as commander of the First Army. | There are several other flags of great interest—of which one must not for- get to mention the first Tanks flag— the fi Portuguese flag in the the first American flag to “rance after the American dec- laration of war. There are German flags too, as for instance, a large one unearthed in the Hotel de Ville Peronne, another from Beaumont Hamel. After flag which are but symbols of our army, come captursd guns. But there is only room here for the smaller engines of war, such as trench mortars, minenwerfers and grenade- throwers, with a few machine guas damaged in hattle. Therc is a great ungainly minenwerfer captured at Vimy by the Canadians. There are shown two German par- ; achutes, souvenirs of a brilliant battle in the air and dozens of enemy rifles, inscribed with the names of villages 2 for Infants aada Invalids HORLICK’S THE ORIGINAL MALTED MILK Rich milk, malted grain, in powder form For infants, invalidsandgrowing children.

Major William Redmond in his let- ters home, some of which Mrs. Red- mond has collected into a memorial | volume. In one of these, given to the | Associated Press, the popular Irish | lcader wrote, shortly hefore his death: “The fortitude thc men scem to | draw from their faith is great and marked. The man who has been with his chaplain and who has prepared | himself by the sacraments 1s ready for | any fate, and shows it in his very de- | meanor. Often the writer has heard | officers declare their pleasure at the | devoticn of the men to thcir religion, | and frequently those officers have been of other religions themselves:” In another letter, Major Rtedmond of the work of the French ith all the evil that has fol- lowed in its train it is good to find at least one beneficial result from the war. It has led to the revival of re- | ligion in a most remarkable way. : to this, practically everyone is agreed, and it is apparent in a hun- dred directions. Perhaps this revival is most marked of all in France, and, there it is attributable in no little degree o the splendid record of the French priests in the army. “To many pecple it seemed a wrong thing that the ministers of the Prince of Peace should be called upon to take up arms and play a part in the terri- ble work of bloodshed and slaughter which has converted so large a portion of Europe into a veritable shambles. ‘What seemed wrong, and what from some points of view was Wwrong no doubt, has in the result turned out a blessing. - “The spectacle of thousands of priests marching and fighting for the and the flag has touched deeply the heart of France and many a man who was perhaps ready enough to proclaim himself an anti-Cleric will never so describe himself any more. The bravery of the French priests in’ battle—two thousand of them have been killed-—has been only equalled by their devotion to their holy office. “By accident or design—one must decide according to the measure of one’s charity—the Germans have de- stroved many churches and shrines and convents in the war.

That there has been a similar Tesult all over the world, and away from the actual scéne of war, is the testimony of unbiassed observers. “The fact is that the ruin and car- nage have been so stupendous, the sacrifices have been so great, the hor- rors have been so widespread, and have so penetrated into almost every family circle, that almost every hu- man being in the.world has been af- fected and has turned to look for hope and comfort bevond the grave.” THREE GRADES OF BOOTS. Every Week 250,000 Pairs of Will Be Turned Out. Northampton, England, Oct. 24.— Arrangements are now complete for turning out every week 250,000 pairs of standard boots made of leather, as the Them soon as the government gives word for the work to be started. There will be three grades of men’s boots at prices ranging between $1.68 and $2.95. Women’s shoes will cost | them from $1.68 upwards and boots from $1.80 up. It is expected that children’s boots will be turned out in greatest quan- tity at first owing to the shortage.

(RAWFORD GIVES HIS ESTATE T0 HIS COUNTRY, Future Prime Ministers of Eng- land Will Live at Checquers London, Oct. 14— (Correspondence) ——Colonel Sir Arthur Hamilton Lee, who married Miss Ruth Moore, daughter of J. G. Moore of New York, in giving his country seat *The Chequers” to the naeion as a residence for British Prime Ministers, makes it a condition that he and Lady Lee may if they desire remain in occupa- tion as tenants of the trustees as long as they live. “The Chequers” estate covers 1,500 acres, is the reputed birthplace of Caractacus, in the year 1, and has records dating back to the reign of Henry, the Second, when it was the residence of Elias de Scararrio, chancellor of the exchequer. The house is Tudor in origin and design, was largely built in 1,665 and re- stored in 1,909. Sir Arthur in - his! bequest asks that no alteration or addition be made to the principal fea- tures of the house, as he wishes to protect it against such outrages as were inflicted on it by the “late Georglan Goths and Vandals.” In a memorandum outlining the conditions of the trust which is being created under the prime minister, Sir Arthur says that the scheme is not a mere whim, but a carefully considered policy based on a long experience of political life and official conditions, and of the beneficial effect that the climate and atmosphere at ‘“The Chequers” invariably exercise on hardworking men of affairs. He has foreseen that it is impos- | sible to foretell from what classes or conditions of life the future wielders ! of power in this country will be | drawn. They may be men of wealth and famous descent, they may belong to the world of trade, or they may ! spring from the ranks of manual tollers. He believes that to the city- bred man, periodic contact with rural life would help him to preserve a just sense of proportion between the claims of town and country, while to the revolutionary, the antiquity and ; calm tenacity of the place would ex- ercise a check upon too hasty up- heavals. Sir Arthur also lays downs the maxim “The better the health of our rulers the more sanely they rule.” In order to preserve the trust in perpetuity, steps have been taken to constitute a board of ex-officlo trus- Excellent Laxative For Elderly People As we pass the prime of life the various organs of the body have & tendenc; ‘weaken, @8 & 38 t fudction is w0 essen ortani to:aood health that old £ should be very careful to av. constipation.
